Trouble with the supplement essay question!

So, the supplement essay question says to imagine looking out a window at an environment that is particularly significant to us.

I'm having a lot of trouble with this question -- I get the feeling that we are supposed to take the question figuratively, but exactly WHAT are we supposed to write about? hobbies/activities we like? A significant past experience? Where I'm from, ethnically and culturally?

ugh, I am so confused. I can't even start this question. Help please? It would really help if alums/current students/parents can tell me the general gist of what they/their child wrote about. I am NOT trying to steal ideas, I'm just trying to get a sense of what to talk about. Did you/your child talk about your/his/her cultural background? Activities? etc.
